Destination:Destin. Yes, AGAIN.
I thought I might be able to squeeze just one more trip into 2011 but it looks like my Girlfriends Getaway to the Emerald Coast is going to bump right over into 2012. And seriously, how fabulous is the name of that area of Florida? But appropriate when you consider the color of the gorgeous &hellip Continue reading
Nolita (North of Little Italy), New York City
Check out my review of the Nolitan Hotel on my Examiner.com site HERE. Apparently, we ate a lot when we were in New York, judging from the photos I just sorted through. There are an exorbitant number of photos of food, places to purchase food, and restaurants. This should not surprise you, if you have &hellip Continue reading

Why A Caribbean Cruise is the Perfect Girlfriends Getaway
I lolled back in my pool side lounge chair, opened my eyes, glanced out at the navy blue strip of ocean I could view through the railing slipping silently past as we cruised to our next gorgeous Caribbean port, and lazily mulled over whether to apply more sunscreen, move into the shade, or possibly just &hellip Continue reading

I was too thrilled to be on an actual cruise ship, headed to tropical locations I had only dreamed about in the past. Even though I had technically been a traveler my whole &hellip Continue reading
Peggy’s Cove, Halifax, Nova Scotia
I was so proud. Looking back from gazing over the peaceful harbor, I could see my husband, Tom, with his hand on the shoulder of an older man with a cane. They were both way out on the granite boulders which lined the shore of Peggy’s Cove and the lighthouse that perched right on the &hellip Continue reading
Choose a Real Castle For Your Next Stay: Dromoland Castle, Ireland

I Have Travel Writer ADD
On any given morning, I take my Diet Cherry Dr. Pepper – we all get our caffeine fixes in our own way, thankyouverymuch – in my Tervis cup with lots of ice because we Southerners are all about lots of ice and settle down in front of my computer, all prepared to get a ton &hellip Continue reading
The Uber-Modern Movenpick Hotel in Amsterdam
At first glance, the Movenpick Hotel in Amsterdam looks like a pile of children’s blocks placed neatly in a pile by the side of the river Lj. Angular, modern, stark against the gray fall sky, the modernistic beauty is amazing. Conveniently located only a couple of blocks from Central Station, it’s an easy walk or &hellip Continue reading
